Acid Mothers Temple
After performing with such bands as Toho Sara, Ohkami No Jikan, Musica Transonic, and Mainliner, Japanese guitarist Makoto Kawabata decided to continue his musical explorations by bringing together likeminded individuals to create trippy psychedelic freak-outs inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krautrock, and '70s progressive hard rock. Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out) were founded in 1996 as a "soul collective." It's not a commune in the full sense since the members don't all live together, but it is based ...[more]

Psychedelic, space-rock music, free-form and experimental. An experience you can't miss!

The album is only two tracks long and gives form to this concept and represents a lucid hallucination which will blow away the listener in one of the weirdest trips ever. "Astral Projection From Holy Shangrila" is the first part of this trip, twenty minutes of cosmic explosion intense an [ read more ]

Recurring Dream And Apocalypse Of Darkness is by far the heaviest Acid Mothers Temple record yet. So heavy, in fact, that Kawabata Makoto jokingly said 'the album is really heavy, maybe a bit like Sunn O))). hahahaha.' Both the CD & LP feature remarkable art work by Seldon Hunt.

"Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. Live" recording was made in Japan in December '01 using digital 16-channel recording (so the sounds aren't like the last two live LPs; this is more like studio recording quality). This live performance uses twin drummers: IchirakuYoshimitsu (ex-AMT/Nishinihon/ISO) and Koizumi Hajime (the original drummer in AMT; he also was the original Mainliner drummer who played on "Mellow Out"). This concert was Ichiraku's last performance in AMT. The line up was Cotton, [ read more ]

This seems to be a live LP recorded during their tour of 2000 but it looks like one of those classic dubious live records from the seventies in the vein of the Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer or Kiss. Photo copied image on plain white sleeve with black labels. Apparently there were 1000 pressed. Not much more to be said.

This particular studio release came described as one of the band's heaviest efforts yet, recorded by the compact five-person lineup of 2002 in May of that year. Lead guitar maniacs Makoto Kawabata and Hiroshi Higashi, bassist Atsushi Tsuyama, drummer Hajime Koizumi, and singer/keyboardist Cotton Casino incarnate Acid Mothers Temple on this one, and the result is, unsurprisingly, mayhem. Given all of the various releases and spin-off efforts in existence, to be sure, selecting this one as a particular winner [ read more ]
